Congratulations, Senator Obama, for becoming the United States' 44th President! And thank you to everyone here for standing up for what and who you believe in. We've got a lot of work to do but for now, it is time to celebrate our victorious victory!

Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote. --George Jean Nathan (1882-1958)

We are no longer a moderated community, however only members may post here. If you wish to join, please send me an email explaining why you would like to join.

The community rules are as follows:

1) No flaming, no insulting, no trolls. You can disagree with posts you read here and have a mature debate. But please agree to disagree.

2) Please no repeat posts or spamming. If you plan on posting a link, please make sure it hasn't been posted before. It happens, but do the leg work before we end up with 50 posts about the same thing.

3) Please put picture heavy posts behind an LJ cut.

4) Please share your experiences, stories, poems, etc. with the rest of the group. We are all in this together!
